Hello! I tried fbpager, I don't usually use it but I want to help you.
I use fluxbuntu 7.10 and I compile de new version 1.1.0.1 and install
it overriding the last 1.0.0.0

If this helps try this command at console:
fbpager -sr >> ~/.fluxbox/fbpager

this will output all the configuration the program has by default to
the personal file .fluxbox/fbpager... open it with a text editor, then,
find this entry: "fbpager.icons: false" change it to "fbpager.icons:
true". 

Also, you can put others colours, change sizes, etc.

Try changing the entry: "fbpager.currentBackgroundColor:
lightgray" to "fbpager.currentBackgroundColor: green" or another
visible colour if shows the workspace.
 
Maybe it work...
Ah! Thanks for the new fluxbox version!!!!
